Future role of air power in the defence of Australia / Gary Waters - Fairbairn, A.C.T. : Air Power Studies Centre, 1994 - 34 p., [3] leaves ; 30 cm. - Paper (Australia. Royal Australian Air Force. Air Power Studies Centre) ; no. 24. .

Analyses the future role of air power in the defence of Australia by beginning with an examination of the nature of future contingencies and broad consequent requirements. Discusses some of the more pertinent requirements in detail such as platforms, weapons, avionics, mission support systems, simulation, anti-ballistic missile defence and non-lethal technologies. This discussion then leads to an examination of what has been termed the Military Technical Revolution (MTR). Concludes with comment on future force structure issues based on what has been said so far and a brief examination of the emerging technologies which can support that structure.
